I hope this post is going to be edited so that the questions (assuming that there are any questions) make sense.

The questions are a little cryptic but I think I have the hang of it:
a) you have
xx AJ9x AKT9x xx
x AJ9x AKT9x xxx
xxx AJ9x AKT9x x
b) You have the ace of clubs.
c) You have the hand given there.
a1, a2 double
a3 2♦
b1, b3 2♦
b2 double
c) pass. hate it.
c2, c3: double
a) you have
xx AJ9x AKT9x xx
x AJ9x AKT9x xxx
xxx AJ9x AKT9x x
b) You have the ace of clubs.
c) You have the hand given there.
a1, a2 double
a3 2♦
b1, b3 2♦
b2 double
c) pass. hate it.
c2, c3: double
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

With opening hand strength and 3 card support for the non ♠ suits I make a TOX otherwise I overcall 2♦

Of the ones with a stiff club, 2♦ on the first two and pass on the last one.
Double on all the others. No ELC so may need to apologise if partner chooses clubs.

The hands with a singleton spade are all obvious takeout doubles.
The 2452 shapes are all takeout doubles if playing ELC, but not otherwise. Not playing ELC, xx AJ9x AKT9x xx is a 2♦ overcall; the other two are passes for me, but xx JTxx KQJxx Ax is an overcall for some people at some vulnerabilities.
With 3451 I wouldn't double. Again I'd overcall with xxx AJ9x AKT9x x but not the other two. xxx JTxx KQJxx A is worse than the same values in a 2452, but I expect that some would still overcall.

... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn
